Description:
Presbyterian Working Men's Institute founded in 1882. The Institute's association with football goes back to the month of October 1905, when a number of players and supporters of North End Olympic F.C., which had lapsed, conceived the idea of organising a Soccer team. A meeting was accordingly held in the rooms, the late Mr. William Buchanan, of the Diamond Hotel, acting as chairman. It was thereupon decided to form a Junior Football Club in connection with the PWMI, to be known as "Institute F.C." to affiliate with the North-End Football Association and to play only friendly matches during the season 1905-06.
